Additional Mitigation During Construction


88


Topsoil would be stripped and stored separately from subsoil to aid reinstatement efforts.


Post Construction 89 5 5.1 90


On completion of works, all arable fields along the Onshore Cable Route would be returned to agricultural practice and would regenerate naturally.


Notable Plant Species Baseline


Detailed baseline relating to Notable Plant species is provided in Volume 3, Section 24.5.2.12 of the ES. Three „Nationally Scarce‟ species are recorded; Crassula tillaea (Mossy Stonecrop) was found in Target Notes 197, 194, 201, 374 and 379 on compacted disturbed soils on sands aroundWoodbridge, Sarcocornia perennis (Perennial Glasswort) occurs in both areas of saltmarsh along the River Deben Target Notes 246 and 315 and Trifolium suffocatum (Suffocated Clover) was found abundantly at Target Note 191. Two species listed as „Near Threatened‟ in Cheffing & Farrell (2005) were recorded Filago vulgaris (Common Cudweed) and Potentilla argentea (Hoary Cinquefoil). Areas with botanically important species are identified on Figure 24.1 of the ES. Habitat information is included in Appendix 24.2 of the ES which details the Phase 1 report.


5.2 91 5.3 Pre-construction Survey


A pre-construction walkover survey would be undertaken to confirm the location and extent of notable species.


Additional mitigation Post Construction


92


Where there are nationally scarce species a monitoring survey would be undertaken post construction to gauge recovery, and further management controls may be suggested including topping to control weed species and supplementary seeding of the rarer plants if they have not come back.
